Luke is using the word translated And to indicate that Gamaliel spoke after the officers had taken the apostles out of the council chamber. Alternate translation: “Then”

men (Some words not found in SR-GNT: εἶπέν τε πρὸς αὐτούς ἄνδρες Ἰσραηλῖται προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις τί μέλλετε πράσσειν)

This is an idiomatic form of address. Alternate translation: “My fellow Israelites”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

προσέχετε ἑαυτοῖς ἐπὶ τοῖς ἀνθρώποις τούτοις τί μέλλετε πράσσειν

/be/_taking_heed ˱to˲_yourselves with ¬the men these what ˱you_all˲_/are/_going /to_be/_doing

Gamaliel is warning the council members not to do something that they will later regret. He means “be very careful about what you do to these men,” and you could state that as an alternate translation. However, the implication is that the council should not kill the apostles, as 5:33 says they want to do. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “you need to be very cautious and not kill these men, because you might deeply regret that later”
